ConsoleProducer will be updated to accept a new property: null.marker
. By default, it will not be set to keep the existing behavior. When set, if any of the fields (, key, value or headers (including individual header values, but not header keys) in the input match the marker, a record with that field set to null will be produced. The
Example:
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
$ ./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --property null.marker=NULL >NULL (1) >NULL more content (2) |
...
Code Block | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
$ ./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic test --property null.marker=NULL --property parse.key=true --property parse.headers=true >h0:v0,h1:v1 NULL myvalue (1) >NULL mykey NULL (2) >h0:,h1:v1 NULL NULL (3) >h0:NULL,h1:v1 mykey NULL (4) >NULL:v0 mykey myvalue (5) |
- This will result in a record with key=null, value="myvalue" and headers={"h0": "v0", "h1": "v1"}
- This will result in a record with key="mykey", value=null and headers=null
- This will result in a record with key=null, value=null and headers={"h0": "", "h1": "v1"}
- This will result in a record with key="mykey", value=null and headers={"h0": null, "h1": "v1"}
- This will result in a record with key="mykey", value="myvalue" and headers={"NULL": "v0"} This is because headers cannot have a null key.
Proposed Changes
This will require small changes in ConsoleProducer/LineMessageReader to accept the new flag and update the generated ProducerRecord accordingly.
